To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY R. HEYL,'a citizen of the United States, residing'in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Machines for Making Paper Bottles and Like Objects, of which the following is a specification."

The object of this invention is to construct an automatic machine which will properly assemble the different elements of a paper bottle and secure them together. The invention relates particularly'to the manufacture of paper bottles or containers having a body portion with an .inturned flange atthe bottom, a bottom section having an outturned flange, and a locking disk which holds together the inturned flange of the body and the out-turned flange of the bottom. A bottle of this type is practically waterproof and can be made absolutely waterproof by dipping in paraflin, and can be made either with tapered sides, as shown in the drawings, or with sides of an even di- The bottle is preferably made of paper and can be of any thick ness and may be of any stock desired.

In the accompanying drawings :Figure 1, is a view in elevation of my improved paper bottle machine; Fig. 2, is. a vertical sectional view on the line 2-2, Fig. 1; Fig.

. 2, is a detached view of the ratchet actuat-- ing lever and cam; Fig. 3, is a plan view; Fig. 3 is a plan view of the paste receptacle; Fig. 3 is a detached sectional view of part of Fig. 3, enlarged; Fig. 4, is aesectional view on the line 44, Fig. 1; Fig. 4*,

is a view of a detail illustrated in Fig. 4; Fig. 5, is an enlarged sectional plan view on the line 5-5, Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a detail ofFig. 5; Fig. 6, is a sectional view on the line 6-6, Fig. 5; Figs.

7 and 8, are detail perspective views illustrating the locking mechanism .for holding the carrying disk in position; Figs. 9 to 20, are diagram views showing different steps during the operation of the, machine in the manufacture of a paper bottle; and Fig. 21, is a sectional view of a paper bottle made by my improved machine.

I will first describe a paper bottle whichis assembled and made on the machine.

I Referring first to Fig. 21, A is the bottle having a tapered body portion a of paper of any thickness desired, a bottom section a and a disk. a Thelower end of the body portion has an in-,turned flange a forming an annular recess into which extends the cially useful in the packing and transportation of milk'or other fluids liable to deterioration. The smaller sizes can be used as tumblers.

The bottle described above is preferably dipped in paraflin so as to make it waterproof, and when the cap is applied it will be air tight. The bottle is of suflioient strength that it' can be readily transported and after it is used once it can be discarded,

as it can be made at a very low cost.

Referringnow to the drawings of the. machine,B is a standard on which is mounted the base C, above the base is a carrier D on which the several forms D are mounted.

C, C are posts secured to the base C and connected to the posts at their upper ends is a cross frame G I Y E is a vertical rod extending up through the base, and guided by the cross frame C and. vertically adjustable on this rod is the head E. This head has a vertical movement to and from the carrier D.

- F is a driving Shae having a belt pulley I f and provided with a clutch f, the -other element of the clutch being attached to the pinion f loose on the shaft, and this pinion meshes with a gear wheel 9 on a shaft G mounted in bearings in the frame" and in the bracket B, which latter also has bearings for the driving shaft F. Onthe hub of n the gear wheel 9 is a pinion g which meshes with a gear wheel 9 secured to the shaft F and on the end of the shaft is a cam g which engages a cross head E secured to the end of the rod E. Projecting from the lower end of the cross headis a guide rod 6 adapted to a bearing 6 on the standard B a and the end of this rod is secured to a lever e pivoted at e to the standard, and attached to the outer end of this lever is a spring 6? connected to a rod 6 secured to the underside of 'the base plate C. The movements of the cross head, both up and down, ,are controlled by the cam, the spring acting as a counterbalance to overcome the weight of the parts carried by the rod E.

The carrier D is intermittently rotated so as to bring the forms D one after another in line with the plungers on the head E. On the hub of the carrier 1) is a ratchet wheel (I, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 4:, and on a lever H, loosely mounted on the hub of the carrier, is a spring'controlled pawl h which engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel d.

H is a lever pivoted at h to a standard B and the long arm of this lever extends through a curved slot 0 in the base plate C and enters an orifice in the lever H. The other arm of the lever is forked (Fig. 2*) and on each arm of the fork is a pin 72, which extends on each side of the cam 9* on the hub of the gear wheel 9 so that a vibrating motion is imparted to the lever H. as well as the pawl carrying lever H, and the motion is sufficient to allow the pawl to move the carrier forward a given distance and return, springing back of another tooth, thus feeding the carrier forward intermittently.

The clutch mechanism is controlled in the present instance by a lever f pivoted at f and connected to a rod f which is attached to a rod f through a chain f. This rod is attached to a lever F within easy reach of the operator, so that when it is desired to stop the machine all that is'necessary is to release the lever from its notch and the spring f will force the lever f in a direction to release the clutch and stop the machine. Other clutch mechanism, or a belt shifter, may be used without departing from the essential features of'the invention.

Within each hollow form D is a disk d mounted on a spindle (Z which extends through bearings in the form D, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 9. The forms are detachable and each form has a hub extending into a cavity in the carrier D and is held in place by a set screw (am. It will be noticed, by referring to the drawings, that the disks d have one or more holes d extending through them, acting as air vents so as to prevent the trapping of air under the plunger when the parts of the bottle are being assembled on the form. The end of each plunger spindle (Z rests on a cam D secured to the upper surface of the base plate 0; the cam being suitably inclined so as to move the plunger vertically at given points in the rotation of the carrier. The spindles in the present instance are held down onto the cam by their own weiglit, alth0ugh springs may be used, if desired.

tom and its flange.

. a vertical shaftIK also secured to the head E is a pasting "attachmdnt by which paste is applied to the bottle at the proper point. $ecurcd to the shaft is-a hub having two arms is carrying heads 7a to which are pivoted fingers hat the fingers being loosely mounted so that when they strike the bottom of the bottle they are spread out, carrying the paste to the" corner ,formed by the bot- K is a paste receptacle secured to a standard mounted onthe base plate 0. When the fingers of one armare above a bottle the fingers e f-the other arm are above the paste receptacle. vertically with the head E to which they are attached thrgough the shaft K they are forced onto the ring K in the paste receptacle and the'other set of fingers are forced onto the bottom of the bottle. lVhen the fingers are raised clear of the paste pot and bottle the shaft is given a half turn to bring the fingers that were above the paste pot into position above the bottle, while the other fingers are moved into position to have paste applied to them.

Motion is imparted to the shaft K in the present instance by a rack 70 which. meshes with a pinion 70 on the shaft K, and this rack is connectedto a projection on the lever H so that the parts are so operated that the shaft will be given a complete half turn as each bottle is moved in position, pawls is allowing the pinion to return without turning the shaft (Fig. 3 3

The blanks for the bottomsn, and the locking disks a are placed in hoppers and are fed automatically.

L is the bottom blank hopper and M is the locking disk hopper.

L is a plate secured to one of the posts C and is in the form of a segment as illus trated in Fig. 3. Mounted on the plate L is a plate L which carries the hopper L and between the two plates is a selector Z pivotally mounted on the" post C. This selector is recessed at one edge to receive the bottom blank as it falls into the space between the plates L and L and carries it forward as it reciprocates to a position directly under the plunger'z', so that it will be driven down into the form which is located at that time under the plunger. The bottom is fiat and without a flange as it leaves the hopper and as it is forced through the opening in the plate L it is flanged, as illustrated in Fig. 10, and is driven into the end of a form D.

M is a plate mounted on a post C opposite the post carrying the plate L and on this plate M is a second plate M on which is mounted the hopper M for the locking disks a A selector m pivoted to the post C is When the paste fingers movearranged to travel between the two platesclearly shown in Figs. 5 and 6. On the hub of the pinion n is a secondpinion n with a which meshes the two racks N and N The rack N is connected by a rod n to the selector Z and the rack N is connected by a rod 12, to the selector m so that as-the rack N 'israised and lowered with the head E itlrotates the pinions, first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, causing the selectors to move from-their hoppers to the plungers- In order to keep the body portions onto the forms, I provide springs 79 secured to posts p carried by the base plate, C. These springs are three in number and are only necessary when the forms are in line with the plungers z" and 2' and the paster. The

springs are split, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3,

so that a portion of the spring will bear upon the reinforcing 'rim a while the other ]portion of the spring will bear upon the ody portion of the rim.

The plunger 5 acts in conjunction with the perforated plate L to form the flange on the bottom a. of the bottle. The plunger is preferably enlarged, as shown in Fig. 9, and is adapted to an opening in the plate L the plate being recessed for the reception of the fiat disk, so that when the plunger descends it forces this disk through the opening and flanges it, and carries it into the upper end of the form D, as illustrated in Fig. 10. The body portions a are placed on the forms D by hand; the head E being recessed at e to allow the body portion to be placed in position. The bottom end of tend to hold the head onto the disk 6,- the lower flange of the head i is rounded and has a slight shoulder i ,..so that when the head E is depressed both the disk 2' and head 2' come in contact with the end of the body portion a and the flange of the head holds the body portion as the disk forces the crimped portion of the body downward, at the same time the cam D raises the disk 03 which carries the bottom a and the flange a of the bottom is forced into the annular groove formed by the flange of the body portion, as shown in Fig. 12", this movement causes the body portion to be raised from the form D, as shown in Fig 13, and then ,the form is moved to a position under the paster, the flange a of the body springing out as shown. The paste is applied by the fingers the fingers striking the bottom a some distance from'the edge, as illustrated in Fig. 13, and as the head E is depressed these fingers spread out, as in Fig. 14, under the inturned flange a of the body portion a and against the flange of the bottom a, and when the head E is raised the fingers are retracted and raised clear of the moving parts. When the form D with the pasted parts aline with the plunger 7?, which is greater in diameter than the bottom of the bottle, it presses the body portion down against the flange a of the bottom, in-

suring a neat fit, Fig. 15. The form is then moved in position, as illustrated in Fig. 16, directly-below the opening in the plate vM, and mounted on this plate is a ring at which has an inner flange m arranged to. support the locking disk a The ring is recessed at m under the flange, so as to receive the end of the body portion and prevent'it yielding against pressure when the disk is forced intothe cavity in thebot-tom of the bottle by the plunger 2' which passes I through the ring carrying with it the disk a It will be noticed that the disk is a trifle larger than the opening at the flange m so that the disk rests on the flange until forced through the ring by the plunger. The ring is yieldingly supported,.being car-' ried by springs m on posts m so that during the first movement of the plunger i it compresses the springs and forces the ring down onto the end of the body portion, as shown in Fig. 17 then on its continued movement, while the ring holds the body portion in posit-ion, it drives the disk into the cavity of the body portion, as shown in Fig. 18. This forcing of the disk into the recess in the bottom of the bottle tends to bind the flange of the body to the flange of the bottom, and the paste previously applied retains the disk in position and also tends to fasten the in-turned flange of the body against the flange of the bottom.

After the disk is applied the carrier is moved and when it is at the discharge point it is in position so that a discharge device S will remove the finished bottle from the form, as in Figs. 19 and 20; the recessing of the head E at e allowing for the free discharge of the bottle. In the present instance the discharge device consists of alever s pivoted to the cross bar C Fig. 9; the lever is connected by a link 8 to the movable head. E and secured to the outer end of the lever is an arm .9 forked, as shown, so as to span I bottle and on the upward movement of the other means of operating the nesting mechanism may be used if found desirable.

When the carrier is moved from one position to another by the ratchet mechanism,

the forms must be brought into perfect aline- I ment with the plungers, so that on the depression of the head E the plunger will properly engagethe bottles, and to bring these elements into proper alinement I attach to the head'E a bar 6; the body portion of this bar is preferably square, but the lower portion is round, as at t, to fit a hole in the base plate C, so that the rod is guided by the head and base plate. On the rod is a lug t tapered at its lower end. and on the arrier D is a series ofprojections D The lug 6 as it descends, fits between two of these projections and brings the parts into alinement. The projections ,are preferably rounded at the top, as shown in Fig. 7, so that the lug will more readily enter the space.

In order to prevent the carrier moving past the rod t, I use a detent pawl Vpivoted to the base 0; the pivot pin a passing through a slot in the pawl V, as shown. The pawl is pressed toward the carrier by a spring a mounted on the pivot pin'o. This construction allows the pawl to yield to a limited extent, but the spring returns the pawl to its normal position. Pivoted at o to the end of the detent pawl V'is a dog 1' and one arm of this dog, when in the position illustrated in Fig. 4:, tends 'to hold the pawl V clear of the projections d on the carrier, so that it can partly move, but when the dog is in the position shown in Fig. 4*, it releases the pawl V, allowing it to move into the path of the projections '0 thus preventing the carrier moving beyond the given point, so that when the lug of the bar it enters the space between the two projections it can readily center the carrier.

VVh'en the head is raised and the carrier is released, the projections (Z5 are moved forward with the carrier and they strike the dog 0 tripping the pawl V and allowing it to move against the ends of the projec tions, when the projections pass the end of the arm, the arm moves into the path of the projections.

In order to automatically push the arms out of the path I provide the rod t with a chine and places the body portions on the forms at the point 6 When the machine is 'set in motion the lowermost disk is removed from the hopper, placed in position above a form and directly under the plunger 2'. On the downward movement of the head E the plunger drives the disk through the opening in the plate L and into the end of the form D, the disk being flanged as it is forced into position, as shown in Fig. 10. The form is then movedv into position to have the body portion applied, as in Fig. 11, then the form is again moved soas to allow the plungers i to break down the flange of the body portion, as in Fig. 12, then it is moved to the position to have the paste applied, Fig. 13, then paste is applied, as shown in F ig. 14 by the mechanism illustrated, or by any other suitable mechanism, then the form is moved to a position under the plunger 2' and the body portion is forced down upon the flanged bottom, then it is moved again the lower disk being removed from the hopper and placed in position directly above the form within the ring m then on the depression of the plunger i the ring will be forced down so as to rest upon theend of the body, portion, as in Fig. 17 ,after which the disk is driven into the cavity in the bottom, of the bottle, as shown in Fig. 18. The form is then moved to the position at which the bottle is discharged and the hooked members of the arms 8 engage the bottle at the lower end, as shownin Fig. 19, and on an upward movement, as shown in- Fig. 20, re move it from the-form and after being removed it is discharged into any suitable receptacle.
